Where did I get my trailer ideas from?

After researching and discovering thriller films tend to have a lot of fades to black, I definitely want to include this in my own trailer. I research different thrillers on YouTube and found that the film Prisoners (2013) have a great use of them. Fades to black helps make the trailer more mysterious and builds more tension for the viewer. I also like the idea that the fades to black were longer than the typical trailer with the dialogue over the top which makes it more dramatic.

I would also like to include this image at the beginning of my trailer.

I have noticed many trailers include this image, and I would like to include it in my trailer to make it look more professional and feel like a real film trailer.

The 1990 film trailer Wild at heart is a horror however, I researched older films to see if they were any different to newer films. In this trailer I really liked the idea of the use of flashbacks which bought to my attention of wanting to use flashbacks in my own trailer. Flashbacks can be seen as unusual but it gives more depth of a story line which audiences tend to love.

After creating the ideas for my film trailer, I decided to research if there were any other trailers which were similar to my own. I did this research on YouTube and found a teaser trailer with a similar narrative to the one we made as a group.

This trailer involves a character being mentally unstable. Pills are shown which are given by a psychologist which is similar to my trailer when Ryan gets medication after taking therapy sessions. I like the idea that this trailer has low key lighting nearly the whole way through which makes it more scary and thrilling. There is a prop used such as a knife which is what we have involved in our trailer which makes it very similar.
